In this latest episode, I chat with Robert Balazsi. Robert is a talented indie hacker who has built Datagrab, a no-code web scraping tool that has really taken off since he started building in public. Robert and I dive into juggling work and indiehacking, the importance of being your own customer, and leveraging building in public. His web scraping tool is one-of-a-kind. In addition, he’s got great advice for indie hackers since he himself has been one for five years while working full-time.
If you’re into web scraping or trying to juggle work and building something on the side, then this episode is for you.
